- What does blasphemy mean? How were the scribes in danger of committing blasphemy?
- What does legalism mean? How does this apply to religion and specifically to the scribes in today's passage?
- How often do we judge the value of a ministry enterprise and what criteria do we use? Are we being legalistic?
